Interested in nature with a focus on birding and astronomy. Current project is a visual hunt for novae or exploding stars in the Galaxy from New York City. Got hooked on discovering things while birding and found that the hunt for novae in NYC is right up my alley.

Below is a table of abundance charts based on data submitted to eBird.org. The data is arranged by location, by month and by season.

When the location name in the left column is clickable this will bring up a page of 2011 arrivals showing the latest arrivals first. This feature does not work for multiple locations i.e. counties or hotspots

Select a State i.e. New Jersey (click in the box & type the 1st letter to navigate), choose between "Entire Region", up to 15 "Counties", any number of "Hot Spots" or up to 3 "Bird Conservation Regions"

For this exercise select "Entire Region" & click "Continue"

This will display a Bar Chart of all species reported for the full year. The current number for N.J. is 444 species.

Clicking on any of the species names will bring up a map showing yellow icons for sightings less than 30 days old & red for older than 30 days.

Selecting "Change Date" or "Change Location" will allow you to create any of the charts below.
